Life's a Beach......

….and then you die.

This is probably going to be the strangest thread I’ve ever posted.     I apologise if people find this upsetting.   I’ve mentioned before that I have some serious health problems – however…..

I was rushed to hospital last Monday morning unable to breathe – heart pounding, tingling all over, feeling feint – taken straight to the resus ward and had lots of tests and scans done.    

Turns out I have multiple pulmonary embolisms (lots of blood clots in both lungs) blocking almost all oxygen absorption – but they are a secondary effect of the cancer that has silently spread all around my body.    

I'm afraid that it's 'Game Over!'

I may or may not post here again – my priorities have been somewhat rearranged for me - but if I’m ever up in the middle of the night with some time to spare, you’ll see me smiling over the forum again for as long as I’m around.

I have a difficult journey ahead of me and, no matter how many friends and family are beside me, I will be walking this path very much alone.     

As Roy Batty said:

“I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.”

  • Hi Plastic

    I've read many posts on here over the last few years, but this is the first that has made me cry. I really identify with the Roy Batty quote - an amazing piece of cinemography.

    Hope you have a good rest of your life.

  • Hiya - Sorry for upsetting you - it's not my intention - I hope people find this thread useful.       There's so much I could say to put context around the Roy Batty quote but it would take pages to explain.   

    I have done things that have positively changed the lives of literally thousands of people and helped save the lives of many more.     I've put myself in harms way many times and faced death on a few occasions.     Unfortunately, I can't escape this one - but I may be able to stretch my time with treatment.

    The tests start in a couple of weeks.  Smiley

  • come one tell  us at least one story where u faced death before please
